STINKULAR internet (GSM) access FOUL!

I just got rid of all internet access on my two Cingular T720s. Seems I was
LIED TO by more than one manager/rep who told me I could use my Minutes for
GPRS access and not this rip off 1MB 6.99 mo. plan they had set up. Anyone
know of a company out there that will do this? AT&T does not either I was
told by a co worker. I need wireless access from my laptop via a USB or
serial cable and can't seem to get it.

Cingular Customer NOService, Tech NOSupport, and GSM in SID 34 all rate
about a 2/5 or as we used to call them when grades were real measures a "D"
They don't give those in school anymore much because it might offend
someone.... Whew.... Let the undercover Cingular employees flame away
cause it will never affect me.

SprintPCS doesnt support it, states it against the TOS, but apparently
allows it in moderation (up to 5 Gig a month) for its "Vision" customers.

They have a plan that is unlimited and uses your minutes, but it is CSD, not
GPRS. They also have an unlimited GPRS, out only available in a package with
txt and MMS messaging. It will run you $20.

Do you have any details in writing? They claim not to have any of this?

Just go to their website if you can't get a CSR to activate it for you. It
is all there. The dial in that uses your minutes is called "wireless
internet". The GPRS (non dial-in) is "wireless internet express". The
package with unlimited GPRS is called " MEdia Works".

Jason-
When you are differentiating between dial-in and non dial-in, what do you
mean? When I go in a set up a GPRS connection through Mobile PhoneTools, it
sets up what looks like a dialup connection. It even has a number that is
dialed during the connection process (something like *99***1# if I remember
correctly). In connecting in this way, is this what you are referring to as
the GPRS connection or am I using my minutes connecting like this in your
understanding??

TIA-

That is using the GPRS. The "dial-in" that uses your minutes is an actual
phone number.
